Chapter 163 163 "Captain, No More Skydiving without a Parachute."

Chapter 163 163· "Captain, no more skydiving without a parachute."

December 27, 2024, 9:10 in the morning - there are less than five days left before the earthquake disaster ends and the polar night disaster begins.

On the north and south sides of the Black Continent, in the low altitude, a formation of medium-sized and small aircraft were circling at low altitude.

There are also fighter planes escorting the formation.

"Attention, all teams. Attention, all teams, the drone has completed preliminary inspection, and the landing location has been confirmed based on the satellite camera images. The pictures have been sent, please pay attention to check them."

"There are traces of human activities found in this area. There are several suspected gathering points, and some of them are large, with possibly hundreds of people. Please be vigilant after landing to ensure the safety of the captain..."

"Be prepared to adjust the formation and start landing one by one."

The broadcast in the cabin continued to broadcast instructions, and after the order, a series of replies were received.

The formation of the flight formation also began to change according to the instructions, and the fighters moved slightly further away.

"It's all the fault of the other countries of Blue Star. After their demise, the satellites in the sky also lost control, and most of them became space junk that disrupted Blue Star's space.

Originally, their destruction had nothing to do with us, but they interfered with our orbit and even caused a collision.

We don't have time to maintain or launch satellites now. Alas, otherwise our progress can be faster without the need to repeatedly send advance teams and drones to explore the situation. "

When a member of the "Hope" team looked at the pictures uploaded by the receivers equipped by each person, he looked at the annotations and blurry areas that were slightly different from the previous ones. He sighed and complained.

As the soldier said, the outer space of Blue Star is now in chaos.

The probability of satellite collisions is relatively low because each satellite has its own specific orbit according to its role. These orbits are precisely calculated and planned to ensure that collisions between satellites do not occur.

But when humans on the planet have too much time to take care of themselves, most people no longer care or are unable to care about these things in space.

This makes a collision possible, and once it happens, a chain reaction may occur, and Dongguo becomes one of the victims.

The only good thing is that Dongguo's space station has not been fatally damaged so far.

There are still people in outer space. Almost none of the countries that have established space stations in Blue Star have evacuated the pilots on them.

In just fifteen days, the people above either were too late or took the initiative to volunteer, so they all stayed in space.

For them, although they have escaped the era of natural disasters, if their motherland on Blue Star does not re-establish a relatively complete space system in the next few months - the time when space supplies are originally expected to be exhausted, it means that transportation will not be possible. Resupply or pick them up, each of them must become the protagonist of "The Martian" and survive in the lonely space.

Now, Blue Star's three space stations have placed their hopes on Dongguo, who is most likely to take them back to Blue Star.

I hope that one day I can catch a ride from Dongguo and return to the land.

"Then what can we do? It's useless for you to complain now. These 'culprits' are already dead, and they don't want to. If they can survive, they will be happy to be scolded by you."

The teammates on the side heard this and said a little funny:

"But now at night, the captain is even more outrageous than the satellite. From such a high altitude, you can see the general situation below. It is too violent."

The members of the "Hope" team are accustomed to calling Lin Li captain, not Mr. "Hope".

"Not necessarily. For those countries that have perished, Blue Star is no different from hell now. I'm almost used to the smell of corpses. Do they... really want to live?"

The team member frowned and said.

The frozen corpses in the ice disaster were contaminated by resurrected bacteria in the earthquake disaster and began to rot. There were even traces of flies and cockroaches in some places - according to theory, they were There's no way he could survive that low temperature.

Most likely they survived the ice disaster along with those humans.

The unbeatable Xiaoqiang once again showed his amazing patience, and with their appearance, you can expect that some scenes will be disgusting and the stench will be emitted.

There was an accompanying scientific researcher who joined the "Hope" team for a day and a half, but he couldn't hold on any longer and someone else came over.

"Ha, when you say it like that, it's true that there is really no point in coming back to life. Without help, resurrecting is just waiting to die." His teammates smiled and nodded.

His body leaned forward slightly, which meant that the plane had begun to slow down. He glanced out the window, stood up, and checked his parachute one last time:

"Let's go, get ready to land."

If the plane wants to land intact, it must at least have an open land. Obviously, it is somewhat unrealistic to find such conditions on the Blue Star, which is full of earthquake disasters, and on a continent where most people have perished. of.

Therefore, most of the aircraft in this queue will not stay on this continent, but will return directly to the Eastern Kingdom, including the escorting fighter jets.

After the "exotic stones" and other resources are almost collected, or if help is needed, the East Council will receive a signal from the "Hope" team, and then it will continue to send planes to take everyone home.

As for using helicopters to form a queue, it is true that they can dock at any time, but it is too wasteful. There are still many places in the country that need to use these helicopters.

The door of the plane opened, and the howling wind poured into the interior, making the buckles and hooks on the combat uniforms ring. The members of the "Hope" team inside the door looked at each other and lined up neatly. , making final adjustments and preparing to skydive.

"Phew -" A figure jumped out from under the open door of another plane and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

On this side, everyone stopped in unison and looked at each other: "Just now, did the captain jump?"

"seems like it."

"Did he...did he jump directly without a parachute again?"

"...It seems so."

"..."

"It's over, it's over! The captain is not very good at using a parachute, which is understandable, but why not let him go down with the helicopter!

What do the accompanying team members do for food? Oops, I have to write a review again! No, if we still want to ask the accompanying people to write for us, then forget it, let’s go, let’s catch up quickly! Captain, here we come! "

After the leader of the team members patted his helmet depressedly, he jumped forward and began a free fall.

…

"Smooth landing."

Lin Li stood up from the mattress, and the hands that applauded him made a sound like steel hitting each other. After they softened, he began to look around, looking for a suitable location and direction to establish a stronghold.

The mattress materialized from the inner space when Lin Li was about to land, which ensured that he would not be hurt beyond the hardness of his body during such a violent landing.

As for the parachute, Lin Li didn't use it mainly because he didn't know how to use it... He had never jumped over a parachute in his previous life. He had trained several times, but after an experience of hanging on an abandoned building as a pendulum, he was sure that he still couldn't fully master the technique of landing. Lin Li decided not to use this method in the short term.

Shame on you.

"There should be a relatively open space nearby. I'll look for it..." Lin Li frowned, blocked the sun with his hands, and began to look out, saying to himself: "Oh, it would be better if it was night now, but it should be This way..."

While Lin Li was looking for a place to establish a stronghold, the members of the "Hope" in the sky had already opened their parachutes, forming "mushrooms" one after another, swinging left and right in the sky.

The scene was quite spectacular, but unfortunately not many people on Blue Star could appreciate it.

Soon, following the guidance of the map drawn not long ago in his hand, Lin Li found the open space.

He immediately manifested some instruments from the inner space, but did not touch them - there are many specialties in the art, and it is difficult to use these things.

There are many things that Dongguo hopes Lin Li can master - no, to be precise, he hopes that he can be omniscient and omnipotent, but Lin Li's time is very limited, and the tasks to be carried out are many and frequent, so it is really impossible to cover everything.

Rather than letting Lin Li learn it, it would be better to have people who knew it come to him to help him.

After the team members who successfully landed arrived from all directions, they used these instruments and started testing.

This test is not for "unusual rocks", but mainly tests the structure and composition of the soil, and the conditions below the surface to determine whether this place can be used as a temporary base point.

At least there must be no internal collapse in the next possible earthquake.

This information is difficult to detect from a distance by drones and satellites, and must be investigated on the spot.

It doesn't matter if you find it's not suitable. Choose a landing location. Every time there will be multiple places that are suspected of being able to establish a base nearby. If this one doesn't work, just change it. You can always find a suitable one.

Several helicopters arrived belatedly from the sky. After they landed, Lin Li lay down next to them and went straight into the inner state.

Next, a team member from the outside would work hard to lift the helicopter and place it on Lin Li's fingers.

After feeling all the helicopters appear in the inner space, Lin Li opened his eyes, stood up, patted the dust on his body, and asked:

"How about it? Can this be used as a base?"

"No problems have been found so far." The team member who was operating the equipment in the distance raised a hand and replied:

"And based on the data, we preliminarily judge that the next earthquake here should start eleven to thirteen hours later, around midnight, leaving us with plenty of time."

Then someone sent another tablet with a very rough introduction picture on it:

"Captain, the construction drawings are ready. Let's get started."

"OK, then I'll start."

Lin Li nodded, and then with a wave of his hand, some basic materials appeared from his fingertips. The team members stepped forward and each picked up a part.

Lin Li then held the construction drawing in his left hand - there was a red dot on it, showing his position, and stretched his right hand in front of him.

Then it materializes.

——What Lin Li has to do is very simple. According to the instructions in the drawing, he can take out the corresponding things from the inner space and 'place' them on top.

This is simply easier than putting together blocks.

As for how to stabilize these things during an earthquake, in addition to weight, the materials such as the adhesive combined with "exotic stones" that Lin Li just came up with, which the team members are responsible for, will also play an important role.

This is not the first such action.

The members of the "Hope" team performed their respective duties and skillfully cooperated with Lin Li's movements. As Lin Li walked, behind him, the fully functional equipment could support the temporary residence of more than 500 people. Its full appearance was gradually revealed, and it was even equipped with a special sentry position.

Not all of the more than 500 people are members of the "Hope" team, because in fact, anyone can work in an earthquake environment and take precautions. The "Hope" team is not much different from ordinary people.

With the size of Lin Li's current space, if he really wanted to, he could even directly create a finely decorated room in this open space. It was possible, but not necessary.

"Okay, everyone comes up and gets the "Strange Stone Detector" by yourself. Follow our previous team and start searching for "Strange Stones" in different directions.

The good news is that this is our last "exotic stone collection" operation this month, and the earthquake disaster will be over soon.

After this time, we can go home and prepare for the New Year's Eve party. Work hard and try to come up with an exaggerated amount as a New Year's gift for Mr. No. 1. "

Everyone gathered together, and Lin Li stood in front and spoke to everyone.

The New Year's Eve party was something that Dongguo had agreed upon with all the citizens at the party before the Era of Natural Disasters. It had been put on the agenda very early and would come as promised.

Also coming as scheduled is the Spring Festival Gala when the future is already in the midst of an alien disaster.

This is Dongguo's effort to eliminate the fear of the natural disaster era.

"For the last time, it feels like I'm setting up FLAG. I have a bad feeling." The team member in front of Lin Li heard this and said softly.

Lin Li raised his hand and gave the other party a playful punch: "Speak carefully."

The other person just smiled.

Lin Li's temperament is relatively easy-going, otherwise he wouldn't have behaved like a free fall just now.

Therefore, after becoming familiar with his character, these top soldiers from the Eastern Kingdom would occasionally make jokes like this deliberately.

Of course, limited to the present, no one would joke or disrespect Lin Li when performing tasks.

Lin Li also liked this, but there were also a large part of the team who were really serious soldiers who only saw tasks and orders. In addition, most of them were one or two years older than him. When Lin Li got along with them, he always felt that he was too Must be serious.

After everyone's team got the "Exotic Stone Detector", Lin Li clapped his hands:

"Except for the logistics team, everyone brings supplies and sets off immediately!"

"yes!"

"Hope" spread from the camp in several directions.
